Rebirth As a Writer In Britain
Chapter 317: Anticipation of the Sherlock Holmes Story
After this article by Siritya was reported, many people held the same point of view. (Baidu search website is the fastest and most stable update) After all, Kevin has sealed their suspicions with his strength time and time again.
Since Siritia's writing was very good, many literary media also reprinted this article, so the idea that Kevin's writing was a sales miracle began to spread in the British literary world.
This result almost made Zela from Dehai Publishing House so angry that she exploded. Since she snatched away the publishing rights of Tony Allen's closed book, she thought she could breathe a sigh of relief. But now the result is the opposite. This had to make her slight sadness directly transform into a lot of loss.
Now that the sales of the three stories of "Harry Potter" have basically stabilized, Kevin no longer spends too much time on them, but handed them over to Crawford.
As for the "Wenfeng" magazine, after the release of these three issues, he has also serialized the first story of "Sherlock Holmes", "A Study in Scarlet".
This story has been frantically sought after by the majority of detective novel fans since the first issue of the series, so the order number of "Wenfeng" in these three issues is also the highest among all magazines in the UK, directly throwing off the huge sales volume of the previous magazines. Tyrant "Youth Literature" and "English Literature".
So, recently, Kevin can be said to be double-faced and exquisite, each of them blooming. This also made his Sihua Culture Co., Ltd. famous in the British cultural circle. After all, it is rare to be able to publish a best-selling magazine and three best-selling books at the same time.
And after the serialization of "Study in Scarlet", those detective fans obviously didn't have enough fun, so they would not let Kevin go like this. At this time, they are arguing in the "Writing Style Forum" that Kevin must be in the next issue. The story of Sherlock Holmes continues to be serialized in it.
"Kevin's detective stories are so wonderful and full of suspense, I like them very much. So, dear Kevin, you must not end here. Otherwise, I don't think God will forgive you."
"Kevin, your "Study in Scarlet" is great. I really like it. From the beginning of guessing the murderer and guessing the reason for the murder, I feel like I am a detective in the world where the crime happened. It's a pity , compared with Sherlock Holmes, my fake detective is like heaven and earth."
"The detective stories written by Kevin are very good, and I enjoy the feeling of being deeply fascinated. So, Kevin, please continue to write. We also want to see detective stories about Sherlock Holmes. Please promise us?"
"Yes, Kevin, we all unanimously appeal to you to continue to serialize the Sherlock Holmes story. After all, this is a rare detective story in the UK. I like it so much. To be an exaggeration, since reading Kevin's "Scarlet" After research,
I just realized how rubbish the detective novels I read before were. "
After seeing these posts and comments, the person in charge of Wenfeng magazine forum management ran to Kevin's office excitedly, and then told Kevin the details.
When Kevin heard this, he was very happy. He had originally planned to start writing the next story of "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes" today, but now that he saw the strong demands of the readers, he was completely at ease in his heart.
So, Kevin immediately logged into his account on Wenfeng Forum, and then interacted with readers.
Kevin chose to publish a post in the Wenfeng Forum. The name is "The Next Sherlock Holmes Story Waits for You".
Kevin said in the post: I am very happy to see your expectations for the Sherlock Holmes story, which is also the motivation for my writing. Yes, Sherlock Holmes is a genius detective conceived by me, and it is also my favorite story. So, I don't think I will give up and continue to write it, and I ask my friends to continue to support it.
"The Hound of the Baskervilles" will be a story related to Sherlock Holmes, and it is also full of excitement and simplicity, so stay tuned.
Well, see you on the next story.
Yes. Kevin plans to serialize another Conan Doyle story related to Sherlock Holmes in the next story - "The Hound of the Baskervilles".
"The Hound of Baskervilles" is a work completed by Conan Doyle in 1902, and it is also his third personal long story novel. The origin of this long story is that Conan Doyle heard a friend tell Dartmoor Legend, and conceived a fantastic tale of a family being chased by a ghostly hound. Then Conan Doyle wrote The Hound of the Baskervilles.
This work has successfully aroused the hope of readers and publishers for Sherlock Holmes stories, so "The Hound of Baskervilles" can be regarded as a proof of Conan Doyle's talent.
After the publication of "The Hound of Baskervilles", it caused a sensation in the British publishing houses at that time, and people once again saw the madness of the detective stories about Sherlock Holmes. Therefore, Kevin has reason to believe that if such a wonderful story is published in this parallel world of England. It will also be loved by readers.
"The Hound of Baskervilles" tells the story: On a beautiful morning in September, the detective Sherlock Holmes received a letter from a doctor named James Mortimer. Dr. Mortimer arrived at half past ten in the morning, bringing with him a bundle of mysterious manuscripts from the late Sir Charles Baskerville.
The letter tells the story of how the ancestor of the Baskerville family, Hugo Baskerville, committed crimes more than a hundred years ago, and finally led to his death under the sharp teeth of the legendary fierce Baskerville hound. Since then, the Baskerville family has been shrouded in the shadow of the crimes committed by their ancestors, and the heirs of the family patriarch have died in strange and horrific ways one after another.
At first Holmes was not attracted by the story of Dr. Mortimer, thinking it was just an interesting legend. But when Dr. Mortimer told Holmes step by step the doubts about the cause of Sir Charles Baskerville's death, Holmes decided to intervene in the case, because he realized that it was not only related to the real cause of death of the late Earl Charles, but also related to the death of the late Earl Charles. The next heir to the Vail estate, Henry Baskerville, is safe.
Under the ingenious arrangement of Holmes, his loyal partner, Dr. Watson, accompanied Sir Henry back to Baskerville Manor. During his stay at Baskerville Manor, Dr. Watson encountered various strange things one after another, such as the miserable cry of a woman in the middle of the night, the suspicious behavior of the housekeeper Barrymore at night, and a letter he later found that Sir Charles died. Fragments of burnt letters, etc.
All these doubts made him fall into the clouds. Just when he decided to go deep into the tiger's cave to find out the truth, he unexpectedly met Sherlock Holmes who fell from the sky.
It turns out that in order to find out the secret of the frightening hound in the legend and the tragedy that happened in Baskerville Manor, Holmes deliberately avoided people's eyes and ears. Hiding alone in the deserted swamps, enduring storms and the onslaught of loneliness and cold. At this time, the cunning criminal also began to be unable to restrain himself and gradually surfaced. He couldn't wait to kill the fugitive Seldo who was wearing Sir Henry's clothes by mistake. This made Holmes more convinced that his deduction was correct.
then. Holmes decisively uses Henry to lead out the real murderer...
When Kevin read the story of "The Hound of the Baskervilles" for the first time, he was also deeply fascinated by the mysteries in the story, and even for a while, I felt that I was thinking about the plot in it with all my heart and soul. As for his test score at that time was a poor 30 points.
so. When Kevin recalled this story again, the memory was still very deep.
"The Hound of Baskervilles" has a total of fifteen chapters. Kevin thought about it and decided to serialize the first three chapters first, that is, "Mr. Sherlock Holmes", "The Curse of Baskervilles" and "Suspense". These three chapters are also the beginning of the whole story. He believes that after reading these three chapters, readers will be full of expectations and curiosity about the following plot.
In fact, without reading these three chapters, after Kevin published the post "The Next Sherlock Holmes Story Waiting for You" on the Wenfeng Forum, those detective fans were as excited as if they had been hit by a double color ball.
"Great, I'm really excited to see this post from Kevin. It means he will continue to give us serial detective stories in the magazine. This is what I want to see the most. Dear Kevin, come on, I I will continue to recommend your works to my friends.”
“I didn't expect Kevin to come out and post so soon, it proves that he cares about our thoughts. Thank God for me to meet such a great writer, I think I will continue to support his work.”
"The Hound of the Baskervilles"? What kind of story will this be? Kevin, hurry up and serialize it. I'm already looking forward to it."
"I think this will be a very exciting story, because I believe in Kevin's ability, he has never let me down. Come on, the best writer in my heart---Kevin."
After seeing Kevin's post, these people left their comments below one after another. Moreover, the people of "Wenfeng" magazine were also very eye-catching and put Kevin's post on the top of the list.
After all, this is a post posted by the boss of their own company. No matter what type of topic it is, they dare not put it at the top without being precise.
The first three chapters of "The Hound of the Baskervilles" are not very long, so Kevin wrote them quickly.
After writing the serial content of the next issue. Kevin decided to go outside for a walk. But as soon as he walked out of the office door, his phone rang. Kevin picked up his phone and looked at it. It was an unfamiliar phone number.
"Hi! Hello, I'm Kevin, may I ask who you are?" Out of politeness, Kevin still picked up the phone.
"Mr. Kevin, hello, I'm the general manager of Carner Films, you can call me Robertson." The other party was a very neutral male voice.
"Oh, dear Mr. Robertson, hello, what can I do for you?" Kevin asked.
In fact, Kevin's words were just asking the question knowingly. After the other party reported the name of Canner Films, he had already guessed it. Yes, "Harry Potter" has published a total of three stories this time, and now the film and television copyright of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has been signed, but there are still two stories that have not signed the film and television copyright go out. Therefore, Kevin believes that the other party must also come for this matter.
Sure enough, at this time, the other party happily said: "It's like this, we have read all three of Mr. Kevin's latest magical novels. Oh my god, this is simply one of the best magical novels in the world. I think that if such an excellent fantasy novel is adapted into a movie, there will definitely be a very large market."
"Mr. Robertson means that he wants to sign with me the film and television copyright of "Harry Potter"?" Kevin didn't intend to go around the corner at this time, but asked directly.
"Yes, we are very eager. Oh, may I ask you to own the film and television copyrights of the three works of "Harry Potter", right?"
Robertson suddenly thought of something, so he asked immediately.
"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone has signed a contract with Crankland Film and Television Company, and the other two books are available, dear Mr. Robertson." Kevin said.
"That would be great. We only need the film and television copyright of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". Dear Mr. Kevin, do you think we can make an appointment to chat?" Robertson said politely on the phone arrive.
"Of course! But I think you're coming to Edinburgh, because I have a lot of things to do recently, so I probably won't be able to leave."
Kevin is not worried about the issue of film and television copyright at all now, so he will not go to discuss with the other party! Anyone who wants the film and television copyright of "Harry Potter" can come to Edinburgh to find him, and they regret it anyway.
"No problem, as long as Mr. Kevin agrees to chat with us, the location is up to you. Oh, if that's the case, then we will go to Edinburgh tomorrow, what do you think?"
"OK, the beautiful city of Edinburgh warmly welcomes you." Kevin said.
Therefore, the two parties made an appointment to meet at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon to discuss the film and television copyright of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets".
Now Kevin has basically handed over the management of "Harry Potter" to Crawford, so he has to tell the other party about tomorrow's affairs.
So, after putting down the phone, Kevin called Crawford into his office, and then told him to go with him to receive the people from Carner Film Company tomorrow.
Crawford also looked very happy when he heard that someone wanted to come over to discuss the film and television copyright of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". After all, if the film and television rights of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" are also sold, then only "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" will be left.
Although he was only working part-time, Crawford watched them get better little by little, and he was solely responsible for the follow-up of these three works. Seeing that they have such good results now, of course he is very happy in his heart. (To be continued.)
